Do not take gabapentin, makes it worse

Well if Gabapentin works 50% of the time, I wasn’t in that 50% because it did nothing for the pins and needles in my feet and legs.
Gave it over a year, and nothing!

I don't believe the oncologist that told me that and I don't believe my personal physician either. It appears the whole medical field is pushing this gabanpentin like it's the new miracle drug and I have as yet found anyone who says it works for anything except maybe pain relief. When I mentioned this to the nurse at my Dr.s office she said, "We consider numbness to be pain" They don't want to be wrong and ya can't get a straight answer from any of them... at least the ones I talked to thanks for responding!
